May is National Barbecue Month and it’s a great time to do some outdoor barbecue catering. There are so many great ways and ideas to celebrate the month of may while your barbecue’s outside making some delicious meals. May is the beginning of summer – the perfect time to throw a barbecue and cater a party for all your friends and family.
Nothing beats a good barbecue catered by experts who love cooking on open flames. We went to some of our caterers and discussed some of our barbecue party ideas, and we wanted to share the results with everyone. Below is a sample of the best of the barbecue catering ideas and suggestions our caterers came up with.
Every caterer agreed: host your barbecue party outside! Enjoy the sun, play some croquet, slap some mosquitoes.
Barbecue using wood, not coal. This is a controversial recommendation. Many barbecue caterers and fanatics believe that charcoal is only grilling and that wood is the only “true” way to barbecue. Upon personal request, many catering companies will use a different wood which can give the meats an extra kick of flavor, like apple wood or hickory. It’s a great idea if you’re focusing on just one type of meat.
Veggies, too! Whenever catering to a large crowd, don’t just have the meats ready for the barbecue, add in some greens to compliment tastes. This way, more people can enjoy the meal, especially if you have any vegetarians in the group.
Have dry rub ready. When preparing meats, try barbecuing some of them with a dry rub and prepare a marinade for others. Many catering companies keep this idea in mind simply because they know that not all guests may like a drier meat or a dish covered in sauce.
Skewers are fun. The original barbecue idea is finally regaining some ground in the world of barbecue! This makes barbecue catering better organized, well portioned and not such a mess to handle as well.
National barbecue month is a blast for anyone. It’s a great idea to have a professional prepare and cook while you’re sitting back and enjoying a beer with your guests on a hot summer day. There are many great barbecue catering ideas out there and we’d love to hear some of your ideas, as well.
